Low-Water Beauties

Ceanothus 'Cool Blue', also known as 'Skylark', is an amazing plant with many talents. Its flowers attract pollinators and it is disease- and pest-resistant. To top it off, it is drought-tolerant too! It can tolerate our clay soil and handle full sun on the coast and part shade inland. It's evergreen and produces pretty blue flowers in the spring. Grows to 3 to 5 feet tall and 4 to 5 feet wide. Looks great as a border plant or in containers. Is a low-water beauty once established.

Myoporum parvifolium 'Pink' is a great low-water and heat-loving ground cover. It is a low, dense, trailing evergreen that grows 2 to 6 inches tall with a whopping 5 to 10 foot spread! It's drought-tolerant, likes full sun, and can handle hot spots like sidewalks. It's also very hardy to 20 degrees. You really get the bang for your buck with this great water-wise ground cover.

Dymondia margaretae (Silver Carpet) is a slow-spreading, very flat groundcover growing 1 to 2 inches tall at best. It has very nice gray-green narrow leaves with slightly fuzzy undersides. It produces small, yellow, daisy-like flowers that bloom among the foliage all summer. This low-water plant does wonderfully in full sun to light shade. Excellent for filling in gaps between stepping stones. Can handle light foot traffic.

Eye-Popping Color

Come check out Dahlia 'Mystic Illusion' and 'Mystic Enchantment'. They are truly set apart from other Dahlia varieties by their delicate, deep mahogany to black foliage topped with big masses of richly colored blooms. Their stems are sturdy and do not require staking.

The Mystic Dahlia series is low-maintenance and is ideal for containers, borders, and garden beds. The gorgeous flowers attract bees and butterflies and make for exceptional cut flowers. You can deadhead the spent flowers to extend blooming time. They will grow 18 to 24 inches tall and 12 to 18 inches wide, and will bloom from summer to the first frost.

Berry Delicious Blueberries

Blueberries make for great evergreen shrubs and hedges that you get to eat! We carry many different varieties ranging from early season to late and from small to tall. Here are some details on some of the selections we offer.

All blueberries like acidic soil and acid fertilizer. They also prefer a sunny location with a little shade. Keep them evenly moist especially in summer dry heat. Adding a 2 to 3 inch layer of mulch on top of the soil offers great protection from the heat and will help reduce water needs.

Tantalizing Tillandsias

Tillandsias, also known as Air Plants, are great as a water-wise indoor plant. They are very unique in that they do not require any soil to live and grow.

You can attach them to wood, set them inside a glass terrarium or let them just sit atop your table. They come in many sizes, colors, and textures. All they need is a mist or spray a couple times a week, or just a quick soak in some water.
